Coach Talk

Formidables
Hey, we admire the confidence, Formidables. It takes gumption to play a player with zero points (Gerald Everett), while still earning the win! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be finished.
Invincibles
Your starting QB tossed three interceptions and just a pair of touchdowns? It might be good to go back and review the game tape. Was Kyler Murray actually that out-of-sync with his receivers, or was the Steelers secondary just that stout against the pass? What do you think, Invincibles, do we continue to start him with confidence?
